Baby Zusman: 10 1/2 hours!!

We have had a great time with Grandma Lucken here and I have had little time to blog! I have included lots of pictures of everything we have done the last few days. First, though, I need to share the wonderful news that Benjamin slept for 10 1/2 hours on Sunday night!! He went to be at 8 pm and I didn't hear him until 6 am! Even then, he was just sucking on his hand and not fussing too much. It wasn't until 6:30 that I decided to get him. He then slept for 9 hours the next night and then 8 hours last night. He falls asleep so nicely in his crib now, too. Good job Benjamin!

Sunday:

As it was a lovely day, we spent some time on our front porch. Here is Benjamin with Grandma looking cozy in his fleece hoodie.

Later that day, Grandma read to Benjamin some of his new books. Grandma brought a big bag of Clifford books, which keeps him very engaged. We discovered his love for Clifford at the doctor's office thanks to their collection of books.

Monday:

We invited Grandma Zusman to come with us to baby storytime at the public library. There were other babies with their Grandmas, but Benjamin was so lucky to have both of his Grandmas there!

Here is Benjamin lounging in our living room with Grandma Lucken. They spent some quality time smiling and talking to each other. You can see video of this at the bottom of this blog.

The last few days, I have been taking pictures of Benjamin when he cries. I realized that I do want to remember what he looks like when he is unhappy - I want to remember everything!

Tuesday:

Here is Benjamin hanging out on the floor. He had lots of smiles for the camera today.

Another adorable thing that we want to remember about Benjamin is that he likes to hold the back of his head with his left hand while he sucks on his right.
